WWI Small Group Tour: Western Front with Arras Extension

Overview

The landscape of Flanders and the Somme tells the story. Both were major theatres of battle during the First World War where well over a million soldiers from more than 50 countries were wounded, missing or killed in action. Entire cities and villages were destroyed. Today, the now peaceful landscape, and the re-built cities and villages, remember their history through monuments, museums, cemeteries and the changed topography.

With this 3 day small group package, you will be taken on a journey in the footsteps of our Australian and New Zealand soldiers. Visit villages with names ingrained into Australian memory, such as Pozières, Fromelles and Villers-Bretonneux, visit well known sites such as Hill 60 and the trenches of Vimy Ridge, and hear the haunting sounds of "The Last Post" being played at the Menin Gate in Ypres.
